FAQ

Passport photo questions, Nicholasville edition.

Can I take my own passport photo in Nicholasville?

Yes, you can easily take your own passport photo from your home in Nicholasville using a smartphone or digital camera. Just ensure you have good lighting, a plain white or off-white background, and someone else to take the picture, as selfies are not permitted by the State Department.

What size and format does a U.S. passport photo need to be?

The State Department requires your printed passport photo to be exactly 2x2 inches (51x51 mm) in size. The image must be in color, printed on matte or glossy photo-quality paper, and your head must measure between 1 and 1 3/8 inches from the bottom of your chin to the top of your head.

Can I wear glasses or a hat in my U.S. passport photo?

No, you cannot wear glasses in your U.S. passport photo, even if you wear them daily in Kentucky. Hats and head coverings are also prohibited unless you submit a signed statement verifying they are worn daily for religious purposes or a doctor's statement for medical reasons.

Are passport photos for babies and young children different?

The basic requirements are the same, but the State Department is slightly more lenient with infants, allowing them to be photographed lying down on a plain white blanket. If you are photographing your baby at home in Nicholasville, make sure no other people, hands, or pacifiers are visible in the frame.

Do I need a new photo to renew my passport?

Yes, you must submit a new passport photo that was taken within the last six months to reflect your current appearance. Even if you haven't changed much since your last Kentucky driver's license or passport photo, reusing an old image will cause your application to be rejected.

How long does it currently take to get a passport?

Routine passport processing currently takes about 6 to 8 weeks, while expedited service takes 2 to 3 weeks. These timeframes do not include mailing times to and from the federal processing centers, so Kentucky travelers should apply well in advance of their trip.

Where is the closest U.S. Passport Agency to Nicholasville?

Because there are no regional passport agencies in Kentucky, the closest locations for urgent, life-or-death travel are the Atlanta or Chicago Passport Agencies, both over 300 miles away. For routine processing, you can simply submit your application at a local acceptance facility, such as a post office in Nicholasville.
